Can I use the Tower Tonic Mineral Blend to feed my soil based plants?

Using Tower Tonic in my GreenStalks!

Can the Tower Garden Mineral Blend, which is on MSS, be used in a Greenstalk, container garden, or other soil based garden? Yes, yes, and yes! 🙌

As a stand alone fertilizer, use 20ml per gallon of water. If using a slow releases fertilizer already, then supplement with half strength (10ml per gallon) weekly when you see the first sign of yellowing leaves.

“Tower Tonic™: rich, abundant, ionic earth minerals that are important for plant growth: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulpher, and trace minerals, like boron, chlorine, manganese, zinc – these are all essential for good, healthy plant growth. But in addition to that, we have a wide range of trace minerals that are also important to human health, and they’re in that nutrient solution in very small amounts, and basically the plant may or may not need to use those minerals but they are available for take-up to help aid in the nutrition, and the health of the plant.

Also, one of the key differences in the Tower Tonic™ compared to any organic or conventional fertilizer that’s used in agriculture today is that we stay away from ammoniacal nitrogen. Instead, we use nitrate nitrogen. A good comparison to human nutrition is the difference between white table sugar and a complex carbohydrate found in a grain or vegetable. Ammoniacal nitrogen used with plants force quick, explosive growth, which is why modern farmers use it. The problem is that with that kind of explosive growth, you get a weak cell structure; the most important component to every plant and cell wall is calcium, and when a plant is forced to grow quickly like that, it becomes more susceptible to insect damage and pest damage. Just like if we were to eat lots of table sugar: we get quick energy, and we crash later – our immune system is weakened, we feel tired, etc. But eating a complex carbohydrate gives our bodies longer-lasting energy that doesn’t take a toll on our health. The same is true for plants that are grown with nitrate nitrogen.

There are several dozen differences between the Tower Tonic™ and conventional hydroponic solutions and systems, but how we feed our plants is just one of the key differences: it’s rich in calcium, and rich in trace minerals that are important to people. Balanced plant health and wellness, along with human health and nutrition, is at the center of what we’re about.”
